She was sitting in the coffeehouse, seventeen years old; Grey eyes like the morning sky, lit with streaks of gold; I had no way of knowing where it all would end When I looked into those sunlit eyes and knew I'd found a friend.
Eyes like the morning, smile like the sun,
Voice like the forest glades where rippling waters run;
Love soft as starlight, deeper than the sea,
When eyes like the morning look at me.
Half our lives together doesn't seem so long: Days of rain and roses; laughter, love, and song; Mystery and moonlight; mornings when I rise And see myself reflected with the sunrise in her eyes.

Instrumental bridge -- verse + refrain
Listen! the stars are calling, with a wild and distant sound, And there's no way to answer when you're stuck down on the ground, But I see our daughters gazing at the deep and starry skies, Looking past the darkness, with tomorrow in their eyes.
refrain

A Valentine's Day present for my wife, written when we only had one daughter and her eyes weren't as green as they are now.
